Damn, out of jalapenos, and the ones in the garden won't be ready for at least two weeks.

Fri. 8/17/12 3:04pm
Jalapenos:
Burned again, huh?

I still say "unwoond". It's dumb I can't help it

oh hey Kurt!

I love it when I can catch this show live! HELLO!

Fri. 8/17/12 3:05pm
Mike East:
holy crap, this brings back memories. Radio Friendly Unit Shifter was one of the first songs I ever played with a band. We used to smash up all our gear at the end. Ah, to be a teenager again...

I may be in the minority here, but Nirvana is perfect right now.

That's how mother squirrels carry their young. The "kits" or "pups," as they're called, hold on as they're being moved. On the other hand, yes, they do eat chipmunks, mice, birds, eggs, and other sources of animal protein. They especially have a nutritional need to eat bones now and then.

DJKG:
common, ha!
i don't think it was a baby squirrel. it had a striped tail like a groundhog or something.

Fri. 8/17/12 3:39pm
Honey Water:
Back to baby squirrels: We have tons of squirrels and seen lots of antics on our deck and railing. A few months ago I saw my first baby, or at least very young one, playing on the railing with its parent (didn't check gender). It was damn near the cutest thing I ever saw, up on hindlegs, batting paws with each other like pattycake. Philo had our video cam in Finland with hiim, gol darn it. :{

Fri. 8/17/12 4:07pm
Honey Water:
Yes, even though it was January (2000), and even though we only had a few days before Philo flew back to Finland, that Ohio to PA trip was very memorable. There's that cave w/ the incredible acoustics I recall.

50 shades of gray is about rodents? that makes so much more sense to me now.

Cheri Pi:
Is it called Old Man's cave? i think the local college students enjoy taking psychedelic journeys to the center of their minds in that cave. so I've heard, I've always wanted to go.

Carmichael:
Aren't payday Fridays supposed to be mellow lovefests?? I kung-fued my way through a credit card issue, then a screaming internal customer before I got to this here board. Calm me down, Kurt! And hi everyone.

Fri. 8/17/12 4:09pm
Honey Water:
Heh! Yes, ratty not randy.

Fri. 8/17/12 4:10pm
Cheri Pi:
well I know what I'm doing this weekend. Squirrel watching!! Ill report back my findings to the committee

A friend of mine who records audio books was almost selected for the Fifty Shades of Gray audio edition.

Honey Water:
Hey, Carmichael, no shit, I, TOO, have been battling banks these past two days! Apparently the financial sector has declared war on us peons -- where was that headline?!

Fri. 8/17/12 4:14pm
Mike East:
I go in to do battle with the bank tomorrow morning. this morning, it was the electric company.

I'd like to see more squirrels around here, but Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in prison. I know a lot of Russian people who said: "well, what did they expect? They're alive and might see their children again, they got off easy". They have a point, one that applies to us.

Fri. 8/17/12 4:15pm
Honey Water:
IOW, Carm, can't calm you down until I've calmed down. Been on the phone over the most petty, nickel and diming crapola at two completely separate banks. Sheeesh.

damn, ANOTHER email. What does he want from me??

Many many chattering reds in this region when you get outside of town. Woods are full of 'em. They'll chew into food bags and whatever blocks them from food bags.

Fri. 8/17/12 4:18pm
Honey Water:
@dcp: Just Wed. I unsubscribed from a ton of political.org, esp. since they had me under multiple addresses. The emails were overwhelming me -- and our server.

My wife did something she has never done before: claimed a hardship, closed the account, and basically gave them the middle finger. End of discussion; I was in awe!

Fri. 8/17/12 4:21pm
Carmichael:
Now if you can play every Beatles song at once, Kurt, that would be a Herculean feat.

Fri. 8/17/12 4:22pm
Honey Water:
You should see me at work sometime. Middle fingers and more when a financial institution's pettiness is revealed to me.

Fri. 8/17/12 4:29pm
fred:
@honey water: being petty is how they make money: promising stuff then looking for ways out. We all applaud it when it keeps our premium down, then scream bloody murder when the tables are turned

Fri. 8/17/12 4:30pm
Carmichael:
As for squirrels, we are about a 50-50 greys to browns. They grey ones mock my dog from the fenceline.

I'll grab a beer for dcp.

Fri. 8/17/12 4:34pm
Honey Water:
@fred: Premiums? Maybe a translation thing, but I'm not talking about insurance -- ack, don't get me started on insurance companies! -- but about deposit accounts. WE are generously giving large sums of money to our bank -- no loans or mortgages -- and THEY want to hide fees in our HSA ? I don't think so. Adios and on to a new credit union.

Fri. 8/17/12 4:35pm

I get thirsty every day about this time.

This Derek Bailey was great

happy weekend all!

Kurt, you've been playing a lot of Larry Polansky and not enough Paul Lansky in the last month,

Fri. 8/17/12 4:41pm
Carmichael:
And not ANY Meyer Lansky.

Fri. 8/17/12 4:48pm
fred:
@Honey Water: I apologize, I was indeed thinking about insurance, ack trebled -- but can you tell me how they've been able to get away with this? What are you doing? I don't mean that in judgmental way, just as a question about what you could teach me.

Fri. 8/17/12 4:55pm
Honey Water:
@fred: Sorry, was away there adding to my letter to the credit union's CEO. :) Well, the only lesson is to not expect bank employees to be forthcoming with fees. We have been with this bank since 2006 and had no reason not to expect full disclosures. It may be just one bad dick in the bunch -- which I'll find out on Monday -- and fairness will be restored. He was truly The bank Dick. The other bank -- an unused credit card account -- is too long to go into, and doesn't involve money, just an "on principle" dingus.

beer everyone...beer.

Fri. 8/17/12 4:59pm
Honey Water:
Yes, time to decompress! I poured myself a glass of red wine, though i guess mead would be more apropos.

Fri. 8/17/12 5:02pm
fred:
@honey water: good luck with that, I really hope you can just sever that bad dick and be done with it (I might even even mean the severing part literally, that might prove dissuasive)

Fri. 8/17/12 5:06pm
Honey Water:
Thanks, Fred! I usually prevail. ;)

Fri. 8/17/12 5:08pm

[Um, that's not as boastful as it may seem. I only pick the battles that are clear-cut and righteous to begin with.]

I hope you do, otherwise we're all in trouble

@honey water: My earlier reply was before your last post. I hope you don't get in trouble, that has become too likely these days.

Always loved me some Burt for the doses of sophisticated harmonics missing on the rest of AM radio.

Grenadine does a great appropriation of this song.

You mean a Honey Riot problem?? Heh, this is a credit union dispute about Health Savings Account fees. I think I can avoid arrest. :)

Fri. 8/17/12 5:53pm
Honey Water:
Yes, Kurt, despite all this sideways chatter, I have truly appreciated today's program and the vents provided. :)

Great and safe weekends all! Watch out for the bad squirrels and the bank dicks!

Philo Gristle:
Here way late, looking back at squirrel talk: I'm always disappointed when we don't see our squirrels here in Midwest changing their coat to white in wintertime. The squirrels we had in Finland would go back and forth from brown to white depending on season.
